are not reducing.

In spite of these global efforts,road crashes, fatalities and injuries

in low & middle income group countries

Traffic in Developed and Developing Countries is DIFFERENT

To ensure that our efforts are successful it is important to first understand the causes of accidents in developing countries.

Hence, safety initiatives should also be different and specificto the problems and issues of developing countries.

CONFUSION:

Hence, Role and Responsibilities of Traffic Management Agencies are also not defined

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT NOT DEFINED

India has thelargest Road fatalities worldwide

Negligible research on Traffic EngineeringStandards not ratified to UN Convention of Signs and SignalsStandards not conducive to mixed traffic conditions

Traffic Engineering Centres were introduced in UK/USA in 1930/1932

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING :No Traffic Engineering Centres

Not conducive to the so called traffic engineering practices Not being updated regularlyNot enforceable in many casesNo regulation for non motorised traffic

TRAFFIC LEGISLATION

Enforcement cannot be implemented in the absence of standard road environment and legislationLack of understanding of violations Lack of suitable modern technology

TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT

DRIVER TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT

Totally neglected area

Driving schools not developed

Tools and systems of training and assessment unavailable

Health of drivers

Recommendations:IRTE Recommends that

Similar Tailor Made Capacity Building Exercise must be Catalyzed for Low & Middle Income Countries, as well as for different Regions in these countries

Research must be shared amongst developing countries with the help and support from experienced Institutions

Ministerial Meeting must showcase successful examples

In Conclusion:

IRTE SEEKS support and partnerships in making this world class facility a reality

IRTE offers this facility for building research, tools and systems of training, training courses for low and middle income group countries.

It aims to be a platform for sharing and learning
